The five categories for which funds can be used are: • Strategic Infrastructure Investment (things like water, sewer and broadband) • Local Business Incubation • Revenue Stabilization • Assistance to Nonprofits and other Community Organizations • Strategic Investment in the Mitigation of Economic Uncertainty ABPOA will be engaging county officials on whether some of these monies can be used for initiatives on American Beach.
